Paint It Black - Or, Time Is On My Side :)



My parents recently gave me this clock. They got it as a wedding gift 42 years ago. It hung on our dining room wall my whole life growing up, until now that it graces my office. I was going to spray paint it black (as seen in the pic of the office below - to match the chandelier I painted), but my dad keeps making fun of me that everything in our whole house is painted black. He keeps saying we're goth. But really we just like The Rolling Stones a lot, that's all.

I like the clock as is... you know what they say....once you go black you never go back. I like the antique look of the silver.... um.... good luck choosing!

Hey Em,
I would leave it as is...especially since it is from your m & d's wedding. It might mean more to your kids when you give it to them 40 yrs from now...but then again, they'll probably just paint it black too!

Don't paint it. I've never seen your desk so clean. Oh what we'll do for a photo.
